Arvind Kejriwal: Plagiarist?

[Note to long-suffering readers: I’m too busy to post right now or to respond to comments. I read all of them and greatly appreciate the input. Will be back soon.

POST:

It seems that  Delhi chief and self-styled anti-corruption crusader,  Arvind Kejriwal, might be guilty of some corruption himself – he stands accused of having plagiarized his book, “Swaraj” (- self-rule- a term popularized by Gandhi during India’s independence struggle):

The Facebook page of India Cause has the story:

“” Complainant Ajay Pal Nagar has alleged Kejriwal’s book Swaraj has copied contents in his book titled Bharatiya Raj Vyawastha. Nagar claimed that he had presented the book to Kejriwal in March, 2012 and he was appalled to see its content being copied in ‘Swaraj’ that was published in July 2012. The case has been filed before District Judicial Magistrate of Noida and the case has been accepted.

The author has said that he had released his book through a Delhi-based publication one year before the release of Swaraj and the plagiarism has been done intentionally by Kejriwal. “Kejriwal has illegally published my book in his own name and has added some Government documents to mislead the people,” the complainant.

Nagar, in his complaint before the court, has alleged that 80% content of Swaraj has been copied from his book which is a clear violation of Copy Right Act. Nagar said he wrote the book Bharatiya Raj Vyawastha in year 2011 and book was published in February 2012. Later, he sent a copy of the book to Kejriwal on March 26. In June 2012, when Swaraj was released with author name Arvind Kejriwal, Nagar found that Kejriwal has taken most parts of his book without his consent to do so. He found that many pages, paragraphs and lines of Swaraj are word to word of his book.

Earlier the author lodged a complaint in Badalpur police station in December 2012 but no action was initiated against Kejriwal and the matter was almost closed. Nagar then went to Chief District Magistrate Court of Noida where his application under Section 156 (3) of CrPc was taken up by the Magistrate. Complainant has also claimed that Manish Sisodia, close associate of Kejriwal and a Minister in Delhi Govt, has accepted that ‘the book is written by us but is amalgamation of different articles’. However, contrary to his claim, the book has the name of Arvind Kejriwal as its author.

“I wrote the book, Bharatiya Raj Vyawastha, with 10 years’ experience of my social life. I met eminent lawyers, socialists, constitutional experts and many more before writing the book. As I was impressed with Arvind Kejriwal and his team during Anna movement, I sent a copy of my book to Kejriwal but he took unfair advantage of it. I have moved court for action against him for exclusive theft and a case under Section 200 of CrPc has been registered against Kejriwal. The court could serve notice to him. If required I will move upper courts for justice,” said Nagar.”

Parallel Female Commando Force For Kejriwal?

Why is the Aam Aadmi Party creating an additional, parallel militarized female police force, not subject to Delhi government? If the AAP has been heavily funded by foreign governments (Western), isn’t this force also likely to become subject to outside influence?

First,  we had Wayne May, a US federal agent, telling the Delhi police to stand down from investigating a case of theft and extortion filed by a senior Indian diploma.

Then, we had Wayne May (who was violating tax law and import laws to conduct commercial operations in the embassy, a fact that you won’t hear in any Western paper) obstructing the judiciary of a sovereign country to spirit out the maid Sangeeta Richard.

Then, you had Wayne May instructing his colleagues to get US Marshals to arrest and strip-search a diplomat over her protests of immunity.

Now, using the pretext of an exaggerated rape crisis, drummed up by the UN, you have a commando force created by the foreign foundation funded Aam Aadmi Party taking over in Delhi, not responsible to Delhi government, but as a parallel force.

Ostensibly the female force has been created to check rape, but in reality, whatever the pretext, it constitutes an extra-governmental private police force only responsible to Arvind Kejriwal, the CIA/ Rothschild stooge?

Ms Birla, who was appointed after her anti-corruption Aam Aadmi Party beat the ruling Congress into third place in the Delhi state government elections last month, believes an all-female commando force will make the capital’s streets safer.

“The Delhi Police won’t care about the commando force because they will still be under the home ministry. What authority will the force have,” Ms Kumari said.

“There are lots of flaws in our system. Many corrective measures need to be taken to make public transportation at night safe for women. We are starting with an all-women commando force. Several ex-army men and martial art instructors have been roped in to train women. Interestingly, more than men, women are coming forward to get trained, which is a positive sign.

They will be trained in Tae Kwan Do and then deployed on several stretches at night,” she told the Times of India.

She also plans to recruit 5,000 women autorickshaw drivers to help make women feel less threatened at night.

Her plan has been questioned by women’s rights campaigners however who said while it was well-intentioned, it would create a parallel force without the support of Delhi’s police.

“We need to bring more women into Delhi Police, not a parallel force. It would better to strengthen the existing police force and demand that it comes under the control of the Delhi government,” said Ranjana Kumari of the Centre for Social Research.

Following the outcry after the Delhi gang-rape and murder, the capital’s then chief minister Sheila Dikshit complained that her state government had no control over the police which comes under the central government’s home ministry.
